    Major or minor PF?

    Have to define expert, but I have heard a USPSA master class time, presumably open carry, is 2.0. Think Gabe told me 1.53 is Stoeger's PR, as a data point.

    My formula for 2.0 is a .90 draw and five, .22 splits.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    You really think that matters?

    To the OP: I've been chasing a consistent sub 2.00 Bill Drill for a while, to the point where I finally gave up on it. From concealment with a wheelgun, I can consistently get between 2.20-2.40. The hardest part for me is trigger freeze. The fastest clean Bill Drill I ever shot was 1.89 with a Colt 1911 shooting factory FMJ at about a 190 power factor. The second fastest was a 1.92 with a Glock 34.

    Well, yeah.

    What am I missing? Why wouldn't a 210PF 10mm 1911 take longer than a 160 45ACP PF out of a 1911?

    Like Todd said, sub-2.00 seconds is all that matters. When you worry less about the numbers and more about the shooting, the numbers end up mattering less.

    thanks all - 2 seconds gives me a target.

    I'll begin without concealment, shooting 9mm factory loads. based on past draws and split times I am probably around 2.65 sec.

    Huh. I thought the Bill Drill was an exercise to help in sight tracking skills during recoil. Where'd the 2 sec thing come from?

    In any advent, I'm still not seeing why more recoil won't effect split times.
